I started off today with Greek yogurt, honey and 1/2 a banana. For lunch I ate grilled chicken and red and green peppers that I had sliced. I snacked on celery, an apple and a fiber plus bar, but when I got home I wanted carbs. I ate a cheese sandwich made with French bread and it was so good I ate another one. Now I'm too miserable to exercise. I did get to over 5,000 on my pedometer, but I regret undoing the healthy choices I have made by ending the day with too much bread. Still, not worth dwelling on, I'm hoping that the scales won't show too much of a budge in the wrong direction - tomorrow is weigh day.
